here moscow time kuwait city boy called collective widespread anger at a poll the opposition says is rigged in support of the u.s. backed model because the latest tonight. egypt's president morsi supporters weigh in with rival rallies against his self-imposed powers and the constitution his allies have drafted. and israel's called the world to call off new settlement building in the west bank in east jerusalem just a day after the u.n. upgraded palestine to. go in here at the new center tonight in moscow
2:01 pm
a very good evening to you the islamist led opposition in kuwait has boycotted saturday's parliamentary ballot in a bitter standoff for the country's an elected leader is the us he's accused of amending the voting rules to influence the outcome of the poll. in the gulf state with the latest for you. kuwait may be a tiny nation but its regional influence as well as this strategic importance to the west is in ments absolutely immense as an opec member anything any sort of unrest that happens on the ground here could have potential impact on the world oil market as well as global oil prices as well as the pentagon's plans to use this tiny nation as a hub for its ground forces as a counterweight to iran now kuwait already holds three american military bases and folks in washington are talking about increasing the troop presence here especially in light of the withdrawal of troops from iraq and the looming withdrawal from afghanistan now polls have officially close here in kuwait and while we won't know the results for a few more hours the opposition is already claiming
2:02 pm
a victory here saying that the boycott was successful that voter turnout was low and that the parliament therefore is illegitimate now what this means is this could spark further on rest on the streets on the ground here in kuwait as people are quite frustrated with the developments in the political system on one hand this country is considered to be one of the most democratic and liberal and sort of open minded compared to the other gulf monarchies but at the same time the unelected ruling emir has the power to veto legislation to dissolve the parliament which is what has taken place four times since two thousand and six as well as effectively there's been a ban on political parties and gatherings of more than twenty people are banned and so the worry here is that while kuwaitis do generally enjoy more rights than residents of other gulf states that there is a trend towards effective oppression here on the ground and a move away towards democratic as ation and this is of course all happening as the gulf countries are struggling to deal with the effects of the arab spring hoping to
2:03 pm
stave it off from taking place on the ground now what we've heard from the opposition already actually in fact we have spoken to a rock who on twitter he's a leading opposition figure on twitter he had already said the kuwaiti people have succeeded in bringing down the selection by not taking part we sat down with him and i want to play you a little bit of what he had to say about the political problem here. one. problem is that the government doesn't need neither the constitution nor democracy and they always start to talk about dialogue whenever they need a temporary alternative but in practice they are defying democracy the main problem is that since one thousand nine hundred seventy six the development of kuwait has stopped because the government started thinking of how to change the constitution and get rid of it the growth of the country has stopped and the government is unable to change the constitution or to continue with the development process as a result the situation has got to where it is now. and so what he's referring to is
2:04 pm
effectively what people feel is a corruption at the top a lack of economic development despite the massive oil wealth of this country both as well as what people feel a subversion of the political system and as i said while there is more media freedom and sort of political freedom relative to other countries here we have seen activists arrested for speaking out negatively against the ruling family and the policies here and we've also seen crackdowns on public gatherings and sanctions protests with security forces using tear gas stun grenades as well as rubber bullets so the fear here is that the country could be moving away from liberal policies and from theoretical democracy the call of lucy catherine off retirement age it thousands of business of rolling support of the president or the opposition continues to demonstrate against him morsi initially sparked public theory of the granting of self supreme powers and now the draft constitution is political allies of approved also come under fire as are things tom barton reports from cairo. we've been hearing for over a week now from the opponents over gyptian president mohamed morsi and the muslim
2:05 pm
brotherhood who back him criticism if the decree he gave last week granting himself sweeping new powers the power to make decrees with no legal challenge and to save the new constitution rushed through opponents say and to islamist well you won't hear any back criticism here for this is a demonstration in support of the homewood musi many people here from the muslim brotherhood and i do so from other sections of egyptian society yeah a lot of them are very supportive of him as a president standing was practically elected i think that he his declaration was for a good reason that you can see sion is reasonable for. him to be showing that it's not just a simple task and i'm a see this is the people that. libya samsonite.
2:06 pm
because they were present i think it should society but large sections of the population also support behind what you see they have of course not just been peaceful protests in or around tahrir square and i've been running around egypt some protesters that have guy. i think wounded these demonstrators in support of mohamed morsi say maybe i was at least see what they would think would be a position you know i mean she's going to have to resist because i think you have to try some kind of political i if you're still doing democracy pollutions participate. in middle east expert talk to sure told me mercy is not doing enough to pacify its opponents. thirteen point two million voters who voted for the president and there are more than twelve million that will do it for him against him so any of these camps can mobilize hundreds of seldon's
2:07 pm
anywhere in egypt it's a power struggle the opposition or some of its leaders at least lost the presidential elections in the parliamentary elections before that they are quite ready about the islamist supporters of the president and they don't want to see it is dishonest domination of egypt's elected institutions the president was elected by a very narrow margin i'm not surprised with the polarization i think the president could have done a better job in containing such awful lies action by having the better communication strategies but definitely egypt if the constitution was upheld and if we had feeling fit all of introductions i think egypt would be heading towards the right track. a number of western countries plus the un have had heard that israel for authorizing three thousand new settlers in the west bank and east jerusalem israel's move came a day after the u.n. general assembly upgraded palestine to being a member observer the u.s.
2:08 pm
called the construction decision now counterproductive to peace negotiations on a two state solution palestinians say the lands in the west bank and east jerusalem which were occupied by israel in the one nine hundred sixty s. must be returned to them but since then the number of israelis living there is risen to half a million for the palestinians all settlement building was stopped before any peace talks begin human rights activists steve hind from both sides of the park from a two state solution. if we're serious about a two state solution and if we're serious about moving towards that. there's no way that this will ever settlement expansion can be seen in any way a move towards getting back on the table and moving towards the peace talks that both sides desperately need in the latest upsurge in violence in gaza we've seen documented proof that israel. indiscriminate attacks they fail to distinguish between combatant and civilian in the same way that hamas rocket attacks very
2:09 pm
clearly are aimed at civilians which is a violation of international humanitarian law in the sense target civilian. indiscriminate nature of their arsenal further away from a two state solution perhaps you've ever been before but only by building on the international consensus that we've got israel and even the united states are further away from can we hope to move towards. long lasting peace. the future of america's high tech hub is in jeopardy and it's why silicon valley is shutting out the innovators who created the digital revolution in the first place. so if your government is killing innocent people you're ok with that i'm not saying . ok with that but. i know i'm contradicting myself but i obviously don't want my government to kill innocent people but in the same boat. how do i know there are such whales people in new york where the ignorance is bliss that when it comes to

to get to one of the five main stars of the group's engine it imitates the gentle breezes of summer chara whose name means great hunter says he suspects adopt. there are special instruments that accompany the singing if gainey says there is even a legend about his instrument a gill it says once there lived a poor shefford who had the best horse that won every competition but jealous people killed it on the horse was revived as an instrument that was it of. but if all is going on the spirit of the horse came to his dream and said make an instrument from the tree the sounding board from the leather of my face the strings on my tail and to remember me make an engraving of my head part of the instrument

a most sophisticated robot which all unfortunately doesn't give a darn about anything tim's mission to teach creation why it should care about humans in the world which is why you should care only dot com. this is a gruesome footage you submerged apparently showing syrian rebels executing loyalists while the victims pleaded for their loss. i know some of the images come in a paragraph think i'm afraid one of the governments referencing an al qaida in a group and several terrorist attacks in syria this comes as the opposition fighters claim new advances in the drive towards the capital damascus one time soon
2:14 pm
authorities say they've now restored all internet info so it is all for today nationwide communications blackout news on this pattern henningsen says the information blockade benefits those backing the rebel militias. have a massive problem again with syria and we've had this problem from the beginning which is the skewing of information coming out of the country the syrian observatory for human rights was responsible for a lot of bogus claims that allowed the west to sort of justify the fact of the for you syrian army terrorist groups the leaders of our western countries particularly nato countries or encouraging the syrian terrorist rebels guerrillas whatever you want to call them to really accelerate the blood in that country because in the eyes of washington and london the bigger the blood down the quicker they can have reaching change just a report just came out this week with a supplying satellite units to rebels rebel groups terrorist groups essentially in
2:15 pm
syria so they can communicate while the internet is down to their country there was a niche initially sold in the media on places like the washington post as a move by the assad government possibly to shut down rebel communications but actually a point for their investigation it looks like it's possible that actually the combination of the united states operatives and the syrian rebels could actually be behind the bringing down the internet and the reason is is because if the blood escalates from that country the last thing that the west wants is any reports coming out on the internet of actual rebel terrorist atrocities in that country atrocities that we've seen quite a bit of recently. some of the international news stories now a suicide car bombings left three dead in southern afghanistan at least six more were injured in the according to officials the intended target was a local police headquarters but the vehicle detonated before it reached the gate no one claimed responsibility for that attack north korea says it to try to launch
2:16 pm
a long range rocket later this month the move then to sell relations further with south korea and the united states failed launch back in april resulted in a motion to suspend the day to tell a tale of state tension on the peninsula is also rising over south korea's recent deal with the u.s. which dramatically increases some of the listed missile range. a cargo plane has crashed into a residential area in the republic of congo it's feared more than thirty of died there the aircraft skidded off the runway in the capital brazzaville in bad weather while it was trying to land there hit houses before ending up in a ravine all crew members on board the plane i thought of being killed in silicon valley has long been the world's leading hub for high tech business reputation largely down to an influx of foreign entrepreneurs but if that is really the caution of a found this global symbol of enterprise could be in danger with the u.s. growing ever more reluctant to welcome beutel and from abroad with the silicon

2:18 pm
literally average day and there is a simple reason such success is coming their way so many of the of the indians and chinese that come in the others they make these great companies and then they hire people so they are really giving work i think they're hungry they're the words they want to succeed they're driven the valley's biggest fries came with the boom of immigrants in the ninety's that brought innovations in software and internet services the numbers speak for themselves just over half of the companies found it in silicon valley from the mid ninety's to the mid to thousands had founders born abroad believe us research says there is a case to one foreign born inventor behind three quarters off after a new patient and like for many others getting in peyton for his startup is what brought julia to palo alto her project is called smart wall and works is a messaging tool for those who want to avoid social networks most of the people that are that i see are foreigners and also there are
2:19 pm
a lot of americans that are not from here so they're also coming it's it's not a matter of nationality here is a matter of the real skills that you have but there are some clouds on the california sky currently over half of foreign born inventiveness face a visa hurdles the end. knowing economic recession has broad deep fears of home and about much needed jobs going into hands that have come from abroad making it hard for many to understand that foreigners can actually bring benefits to times when america so desperately needs them and i think that's something that white america doesn't get they don't understand why. because they don't because i think that a lot of their fears are still though they're taking their jobs the way america prides itself on being a melting pot the country where thousands flocked for a better life but u.s. immigration policy me put an end to all that and you know question marty. marty got
2:20 pm
dot com tonight the u.s. senate approved a bill on national security which could damage the capability of afghanistan's security forces are going to generate more about that today article called so we're talking about but if you have put in publishing is official welcoming address revealing the agenda then for the year ahead as russia assumes the presidency of the g twenty well. of u.k. officials get the hot under the collar one hundred seventy boxes containing top secret files about britain's former colonial rule have gone missing what's r.t. dot com is the place to find out. during today's a pretrial hearings lawyers for the american private accused of leaking classified data to wiki leaks have talked of his mistreatment and suicidal thoughts bradley manning is already spent the best part of two years in detention for revealing killings the u.s. military didn't want exposed now and then a verse through the cable gate that landed him behind bars larry half an assassin where the people really want to know what their governments are up to.
2:21 pm
it's been two years since wiki leaks released what's now known as cable gates the world's largest leak of classified u.s. material so has it changed the world much this week let's talk about that i'm kind of a thought what i don't know doesn't hurt me so if your government is killing innocent people you're ok with that i'm not saying i'm ok with that but. i know i'm contradicting myself but i obviously don't want my government to kill innocent people but in the same boat. how do i know they're innocent if you run a government and you live or you run a business associate business and you lead everyone from your employees to the person who's the janitor know everything about your business something's going to come back and haunt you and so maybe you shouldn't do anything that would haunt you . that. you have a good point knowledge is power right so we found out some information so that's
2:22 pm
a positive thing but i don't know if it's changed anything you don't think it's changed the way the governments might act. i think if they broke through some sort of firewall to get this information they probably built a new firewall that they can't break through quite as easily i don't think i it's changed anything i think the government is going to make it more of a secret you know as long as there's money power involved i don't think anything's going to change the information has since the printing of good will burke at the fortune said tree. the public is allowed to have information what about the government are they allowed to have information about us certainly yes so what about the people who protested bad the government is using the internet to spy on us. well if you want to spy on each other just look at today just to minutes ago syria just closer to the internet so is that a government the i think of the government especially the what america is the world was ultimately is by going to be about it whether or not we feel like wiki leaks
2:23 pm
has changed the world the bottom line is governments might now feel like they have their own big brother watching and hopefully that's a good thing. i can tell you just a couple of minutes away from discovering more of the murky secrets of the world's financial giant travails in the latest guys report on it after the break. would you be so much brighter if you live on some from finest impression these.

keyser welcome to the kaiser report some say the devil's greatest trick was convincing the world he didn't exist i say greatest trick was convincing us that central banks should exist and then the central banks go back and dancing us not only debt is money and to this toxic debt we must sacrifice our sovereign souls to
2:27 pm
eternal inflation deflation did. say max keiser well speaking of central banks and convincing us that debt is money of course part of that was convincing us that gold and silver are not money and they've tried to vanish it from our collective consciousness so austrian press agency cites a gaffe in report on possible audit of austria's gold the austrian national bank was forced to admit last week in parliament that eighty percent of austria's national gold is in london and explain that the bank has earned three hundred million euros in the past decade with gold leasing operations after and. expert commented that this adjusted to the large part of the gold was leased out the bank a leak that currently only sixteen percent of the reserves are affected the bank gave no explanation for the relatively high income from gold lending well well well
2:28 pm
get scores again bill murphy and chris low are there again of course simple math will tell you that if you're leasing that quantity at that rate for that period of time you end up with a certain number which is unimpeachable and it points the finger at the austrian central bank as being inveterate liars and again is going to have to leave as it rightly should now gold leasing is what they do to in order to suppress the price this is part of the conspiracy theory that central banks manipulate our perception of the value of gold and therefore the value of their fee up ponzi schemes and so here they're trying to convince the population who is now dubious and questioning whether or not they should have sold their soul to this central bank and devil and they're saying look we've me three hundred million euros for you and somebody rightfully asked that means you lent out all of our gold buy our metrics that's
2:29 pm
just. that's just. been working out to take on the banks turns them fraudsters and not seem to lead by i should mention that intellectual flyaway is supposed to be coming over to london soon or he will face a serious grilling from somebody who actually knows what they're talking about not those halfwits on c n b c s c o n for you so according to the austrian court of auditor's now they're going to actually have to audit the gold reserves of austria held in london and it says the quote says. but to date it has left open whether this will include the physical gold holdings. yeah this is really running into a conundrum isn't it because for decades the central banks have gotten away with holding up a representation of a theoretical value in a vacuum.
